Learn why hitting the ball flat improves your Padel game.

Players often hit with slice when they start in padel, but in this video we explain why we recommend learning to hit flat from the start!

It is valuable to be able to slice, but the higher the level, the more players use flat technique for the majority of their shots.

The 3 reasons are:
1. Less Risk
2. More Effective
3. Disguise

The technique is usually simpler, so often players just need to practice directing the shot and they should be able to quickly integrate it into their game.

We cover all the shots, go through the learning steps and give drills for each in this course: https://thepadelschool.com/courses/one-to-one-course/
